This 35mm f/1.8 Nikkor lens recreates that experience for DX format shooters who have been seeking a comparable "normal" lens. The 35mm focal length closely matches a 50mm lens in the FX format. This is perceived to be a natural lens as it provides an undistorted angle of view that is similar to what the unaided human eye perceives. Versatile A desirable lens for low-light, travel, environmental portraiture and overall general photography. Contains an Aspherical Lens Element The incorporation of an aspherical element minimizes coma and other lens aberrations, further improving image integrity. Super Integrated Coating (SIC) This lens coating enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency with reduced flare. Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) The motor embedded in the body of the lens enables fast, accurate and quiet autofocusing. 7-blade Diaphragm A rounded iris produces a more natural rendering of out-of-focus image elements. The 35mm f/1.8 AF-S can focus as close as one foot. Engine
